You can't deny Ben's skillset. Now some may not find it as a "dazzling" display of action but one should see that his last couple have become more "fan friendly" to watch. I could care less b/c I find it entertaining. Here we have an undefeated mma fighter who is an Olympian, trains at a top camp, multiple time national champion and some of you don't want to see him ply his trade in the big leagues?

My problem is Askren is so good at wrestling, but he doesn't have a finishing move. To me MMA should provide more finishes from T/Ko or sub's if your a consistent dec fighter it's more of a sport like wrestling were their opponet is only tired when done. I can enjoy a fighter using control over there opponet, but don't care to see move after move only looking to control and not attempt to submit them

Meh, I'm really not bothered. Askren is just Fitch v2 in my opinion.
I see him working his way to the top with a string of boring decisions, but if he slips up I can't see the UFC or its fans having any problem cutting him.

Problem is if they overpay for Eddie then the rest of the UFC roster expects raises or becomes really disgruntled. With Viacom's deep pockets backing Bellator now the bidding war would have just gotten stupid anyways.

Didn't really hurt Turner much not like the guy didn't have the cash.. letting Nash and Hogan have as much creative control as they did was what really hurt.

Great point.

And yea, WCW had so many problems it wasn't funny. It's really the story of how fast can you burn a billion bucks.
